THE GRAMERCY AGENCY

Media & digital for public institutions · New York City

Public campaigns that reach all five boroughs.

The Gramercy Agency plans, buys and measures digital media for city agencies, universities and public authorities. We report on what people did, not just how many saw an ad. And we build the websites and dashboards that prove it.

Reporting

Results you can open any day

Every Gramercy campaign comes with a live dashboard: what was spent, what residents did, and what each outcome cost, broken out by borough and language.

Your team sees the same numbers we do, every day, in a format ready to share with leadership and oversight.

Illustrative figures. This is the format every client gets: outcomes, cost and reach by borough and language.

Built for public dollars

Public campaigns answer to residents, oversight and the press. These are our standards on every contract.

Outcomes over impressions

We track reach, and we tie it to behavior wherever the data allows: sign-ups, calls, applications, enrollments.

Community and ethnic media

NYC directs half of agency print and digital ad spend to community and ethnic media. We plan for that from the first draft.

In the languages New Yorkers speak

Creative and targeting in all ten of the city's designated languages, reviewed by native speakers.

Accessible by default

Websites, landing pages and digital assets built to WCAG 2.1 AA, with captions and alt text as standard.

Every dollar on a dashboard

Spend, results and cost per outcome in a live dashboard your team can open any day, not a slide deck once a quarter.

M/WBE partnership

We meet participation goals by teaming with certified minority- and women-owned firms on every public contract.

How a campaign runs

The same five steps on every engagement, from a two-week enrollment push to a multi-year program.

  1. Challenge

    Define the public outcome the program needs and how we'll count it.

  2. Community

    Map who needs to act, by neighborhood, language and the media they actually use.

  3. Multilingual strategy

    Plan channels, community publishers and creative in each language.

  4. Launch & optimize

    Go live fast, read results weekly and move budget to what works.

  5. Public outcome

    Report results and cost per outcome in a format ready for leadership and oversight.

Senior experience on every account

The person who wins your contract is the person who runs your campaign.

The Gramercy Agency was founded by Mike Haverstick, who has spent more than ten years in digital advertising. At The Trade Desk, he managed programmatic accounts for major national advertisers. Before that, at Digital Ignite, he ran Facebook, TikTok and programmatic campaigns for universities and state entities, including work won through public RFPs.

Gramercy pairs that experience with modern tooling, so a small senior team can plan, launch, optimize and report at the pace public programs need.
